Warner Music Group (WMG) released its fourth quarter and full-year financial results for the fiscal period ending September 30, 2025. The company exceeded revenue expectations, reporting a significant rise in revenue to $1.87 billion, up 15% year-over-year. However, earnings per share (EPS) fell short of analyst projections, despite this strong revenue performance. This disparity can be attributed to factors such as increased restructuring and impairment charges which rose by 54%, along with higher amortization expenses. While WMG’s net income for the quarter reached $109 million – an improvement from $48 million in the previous year – it was not enough to meet EPS expectations. Despite the challenges, WMG’s adjusted operating profit before interest and taxes (OIBDA) grew by 15% to reach $405 million, maintaining a consistent 21.7% margin. Cash flow from operations decreased by 24% to $231 million, primarily due to timing-related working capital issues and severance payments. However, WMG’s robust revenue growth highlights its strong core business, fueled by notable performance in both recorded music and music publishing sectors. 2026 Holds Potential for Continued Growth, With WMG Outlining a Strategy of Further Expansion and Margin Improvement
